I'm interested in one thing, if you care to chime in to my thoughts - what exactly a cue builder would change for a game of carom as opposed to the game of billiards (9ball/8ball/10ball/14.1) etc, like I don't understand when I read somewhere a catagory that says "Carom cues" like whats the difference? aren't they just the same cue? and what do cue builders change for carom if anything?
thanks.
I'm just curious.
Stiffer, shorter shafts to hit heavier, larger Carom balls around. Different balance and specs
Yes, I imagine they squirt like a mother.
Mystery solved. It’s a Hiolle from France, not an Adam, and it’s over 50 years old. Wood is rosewood and hornbeam. :thumbup:

How did you get the ID on it? There was a website for European billiard cues - not sure if he's still around.
By the way, the splice looks exactly like an Adam. Wonder if they worked with Hiolle?
I could be wrong. Just saw the Hiolle stamp on the forearm. I saw that website you mentioned and it says the stamp was used until 1970. I've emailed the guy to ask if he could identify it further. Let's see if he responds. Thanks for your constructive input.
